I don't think they have fangs, actually -- I thought SMeyer said in the books that they just have really strong teeth. Or something like that. I don't know; I think I forgot the details of the books as soon as I finished them.
You will always be a Sparkly Vampire in our hearts, divasahm.

No fangs. Just sharp teeth with venom!

According to ET Online, Catalina Sandino Moreno is joining the Twilight cast as the vampire who turned Jasper.
Seriously. SERIOUSLY. [/Cristina Yang] She's an Academy Award nominee! Is she that hard up for cash? Can't she go do infomercials in Japan or something? Hollywood needs to stop validating Stephenie Meyer. Every single time a respectable actor joins this cast, I die a little inside.
ETA: On the plus side, maybe they can cast Fishstick in the fourth movie for maximum hilarity.

Yes, as the more I hear of this saga the worse it is all sounding. I had hoped the franchise would get BETTER as it went along, not worse. Nothing is surprising anymore with recent events. I just read that on the Eclipse set Bryce and another new character are sticking to themselves so maybe the original cast is giving them the cold shoulder, well at least Bryce? I wonder how much truth there is to this and if it is because of the Rachelle firing....

So, a company has decided to cash in on the Twilight/vampire obsession and has created a vamp-themed vibrator (NSFW or life) that allegedly sparkles in the sun. Ewwwwwwwwwwww. Whyyyyyyyyyyy. But on the other hand, I know now exactly what to get a few people for Christmas.

Apparently this kid has been tapped to play Seth. Anybody notice anything odd? Like how the kid looks, um, Asian? I've read somewhere that the kid has Native American ancestry, but his Asian features are overpowering. I think Seth is supposed to be 100% Quileute, anyway. Don't know anything about the actress who is playing Leah, but unless she's part-Asian as well, I don't know how TPTB will be able to play those two off as siblings. They better not be planning on slapping some bronzer on that dude. Blackface/brownface is, like, so passe, y'all! And to think, whenever I was ranting about The Last Airbender casting controversy, I was holding up the Twilight movie series as an example of doing it right (as failtastic as the franchise is otherwise). Or, well, Chris Weitz was doing it right in particular; Taylor Lautner as Jacob might be fucked, but Weitz wasn't responsible for that. I guess the new Eclipse director doesn't care as much as Weitz did.

I've been sitting here howling for the past five minutes! Oh, thank you huntergrayson I needed that laugh. Oh man, the money I would pay to see the look on Stephanie Meyer face when she learns her beloved series inspired a sparkly vibrator!
Isn't the dude that plays Jasper in The Last Airbender? Isn't the one that basically said, "Hey just throw some bronzer on me and pull my hair back to make me look Asian!" in response to the "Dude, why are they hiring white people to play Asian characters?!" I don't get it either. I have a feeling there are plenty of Asian actors that would have jumped at the chance to star in The Last Airbender and there are probably plenty of young Native American actors would have jumped at the chance to be in New Moon. It just doesn't make any sense.
P.S. Hollywood The Last Airbender looks so horrible it may make The Twilight Saga look Oscar worthy in comparison. The only Avatar I'll be checking out is James Cameron's!

It just doesn't make any sense. As a point of clarification, Jasper's character in The Last Airbender is Inuit. Anyway, you're close... Jackson Rathbone (aka Jasper) said something like, "I think it's one of those things where I shave my head and I definitely need a tan. Hopefully the audience will suspend disbelief a little bit." The Jackson stans have pointed to the last sentence as 'evidence' that his words aren't all that bad or offensive, which is bull IMO. He might not have said, "Slap some bronzer on me and call me Inuit!" but he was still essentially advocating a form of blackface. I will be pissed if the same thing is done in Eclipse.

The quote is in the "dumb quotes" therad. I remember him specifically saying something about being able to "look Asian," because I said, "Uhh. He does know that Asian is not equal to Inuit, right?!"
I can't wait to look at the vibe link when I get home. (And possibly send one to my friend that may be breaking up with her boyfriend of 8 yrs. baha.)

But on the other hand, I know now exactly what to get a few people for Christmas. Sadly, not a vibrator. It merely sits there, thinking sparkling is enough - just like Stephenie Meyer's beloved Edward!
